The modern additions to the Felm tomb

A heavy capstone rests over a narrow chamber in the grass. This is the Felm tomb, a megalithic grave built by the Funnelbeaker culture during the Neolithic period. It sits 40 m north of the Voßberg road in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein.

The burial chamber is a Urdolmen, oriented toward the northeast and southwest. It measures 2.2 m long and 0.8 m wide. The structure appears to be complete, consisting of two pairs of wall stones lining the long sides and a single large capstone that is 3 m long, 1.9 m wide, and 1 m thick.

On the narrow sides, the end stones reach only half the height of the wall stones. In these types of structures, such half-height stones usually appear on only one side. Because they sit on both sides here, archaeologist Ernst Sprockhoff hypothesized that at least one must be a modern addition.

Today, the chamber is empty. The contents have been removed, leaving only the heavy weight of the stones.
